Duart Castle – Scotland Castle Tours
Duart Cast has a long history being the home of one powerful Clan most of the time. This Castle has a strategic spot on top of lovely hills with views of the Sound of Mull.
Located on the East side of Scotland on the Isle of Mull.
Duart Castle history starts with being the seat of the Clan MacLean in the 13th century. In the mid 1600s the Clan Campbell attacked Duart Castle, but was defeated by the Clan MacLean. This Scotland Castle did change hands a few times, but was abandoned in the mid 1700s. In the early 1900 the castle was bought by the 26th chief of the Clan MacLean and restored. Several movies and a TV show were filmed in this Castle between 1970 and now.
This Scotland castle has limited dates that you can take a tour. The Castle is open from April 1-30 and then from May 1-11, and then again from 12-18 in 2009.
